An easy inclusion if you are visiting Mullaghmore. This top can be reached from the forest entrance and parking at around H74079865A. Using the Waymarked Way, exit the forest at around H74949929B and head NE for the top, 1.3k NE. There are a few gullies, tracks and minor crags en route.
The plain, boggy summit is unmarked by any cairn, however it has an interesting view over Tyrone and mid-Ulster. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/523/comment/5282/

The Lying Boy & The Priests Chair

by sperrinlad 30 May 2016

walked this from irelands highest pub (ponderosa) on the Glensahne pass. we walked down the road to the entrance to the Glenshane forest, and followed the track though the forest until we reached the Grotto where you can find an old 17th century mass rock known as 'the priests chair' where we stopped to take in the history. from here we made our way towards the highest part of the forest behind the grotto and crossed the fence at the corner.
from here there is several boggy areas before reaching the summit of Bohilbreaga, with amazing view across midulster and the sperrins you could see as far as the black mountains in belfast.

**Bohilbreaga from the irish 'an buachail Breaga' meaning 'the lying boy' a reference to the lookout for the pilgrims who were saying mass at the priests chair below the summit during the penal era in Ireland. the story says how the young boy was caught by soldiers on the hunt for the priest and saved their lives by lying to them about their whereabouts.

From Glenshane Forest

by dino 28 Mar 2014

One of the strangest little hills I've climbed! I came from the North having parked at a forest gate on the A6 Glenshane Road and walked in through Glenshane Forest. The approach from the little grotto at the edge of the forest is barely visible but has a couple of simple signposts. The ground above the forest is very wet and boggy and there is extensive evidence of peat harvesting operations. The top has great views in all directions but it's hard to identify. I plumped in the end for the lone post standing forlornly on the edge of a peat hag. This top was completed as part of a 20km circuit which I will upload as a route.
